This took an hour decanted to open up. Out of the bottle it was clumsy and shy. Two hrs in it was a show stopper.

Fantastic mature Bordeaux. Plenty of little complex notes hiding in there.

Wow. All there. The nose, the complex flavors, the lengthy finish. Couldn't ask for anything more. It tells a story in your glass, and pushes and pulls in all the right ways. May be the wine of the year.

Not as good as it should have been. A bit less powerful than expected?

Pure perfection, the 1989 Château La Mission Haut Brion is at eye level with the glorious 1989 Château Haut Brion from across the street, but much wilder and rustic in character. Deep garnet coloured, the nose explodes with intense aromas of scorched earth, leather, liquorice, tobacco, charred wood, blueberry and blackberry jam, black currant, mushrooms and graphite. Full bodied, extremely dense and packed with concentrated, ripe black fruits, this stallion of a wine still manages to be absolutely seamless. Drink now until 2040

More electricity than other 89's with no less opulence! Pure magic leaping from the glass!
